Piano lessons in Wimbledon

Qualifications: Bachelor's in Music - Popular music Performance (Guitar)

Hi, I am a singing and piano teacher.

We are proud to be able to offer our students a fun loving and relaxed studio environment in which to learn. Although we teach from our home we have two purpose built studios one for guitar and one for piano. We can also provide a larger teaching room that can be used as a third one on one studio or for musical teaching groups and rehearsals. We offer teaching in a wide range of musical styles with each of our teachers having their own areas of specialization and their own preferred musical styles to work in. Claire has a long history of working in the Classical and jazz styles, Emily has a deep love of classical piano, and Steve as a guitarist and bass player enjoys, Rock, Funk, Jazz and everything in-between. We offer a wide range of choices for progression through graded music examinations, with the London College of Music, ABRSM and Rock school. We have achieved a high level of success with our students, the vast majority achieving merits and distinctions in their chosen instruments. We feel that a major aspect of any musicians growth is through performance. We try to actively encourage and provide performance opportunities for all of our students. We hold an annual concert every year (covid permitting) which we encourage all of our students to take part in, we also like to provide other video and live performance opportunities throughout the year. We foster good relationships with local performance specialist schools. We have helped students with auditions for the Brit School and provided advice and support for students who are working on GCSE and A level music exams. Qualifications: BA (hon) Music/popular Music, Grade 8 classical piano ABRSM

Whatever your aspirations at the piano, I can show you how to reach them! I specialise in accompanying classical singers and recently graduated from the National Opera Studio in London. As a freelance accompanist I work with organistations such as Opera North and The Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra. I started learning the piano aged 7 after being inspired by the 'magic box' in the corner that my mum played. I went on to study at Oxford and Yale universities and the Royal Northern College of Music and have performed in many exciting venues across the UK including the Brighton Dome, Wigmore Hall, Bridgewater Hall Manchester, Cadogan Hall, Wales Millennium Centre and Symphony Hall Birmingham. I hold associate and licentiate diplomas in piano performance and have taught privately for 14 years as well as in Schools across South London. Although I take a strictly optional approach to exams, I have knowledge of the ABRSM syllabus and my students have received merit and distinction awards in ABRSM exams. I teach my students to understand three key areas of great piano playing: technique, understanding the score and expression. Technically I will introduce you to a Russian tradition of piano playing to develop strong fingertips supported by the wrist and arm for fluency and beauty. From beginner to advanced levels I will teach you how to understand how the 'recipe' in music is put together to you can feel confident that you understand deeply what to play. Throughout everything I will focus on expression, the stories and emotions in the music that make it so thrilling. In a typical lesson you can expect to look at some physical 'workouts' to develop your technique before working on your favourite pieces of music to understand how its put together and how to find expression. My philosophy is to use the lesson to teach how to practice on your own during the week so you can really own what you're doing. I believe in being kind, patient and supportive, giving you the keys to unlock your own musicality. Whatever your age and ability, please feel free to get in touch if you want to take your technique, score reading and expression to a higher level!

I have been teaching singing and music for 5 years. I am a professional musician and musical theatre performer and have been performing professionally since the age of 8. I grew up performing in a folk band where we would travel around the UK performing at festivals and clubs. I play over 7 different instruments because of this and when I finished school I was accepted into a drama college where I trained for 3 years in Musical Theatre. I have taught music and singing at drama colleges and youth performing arts schools both 1to1 and in-class settings and have performed in various band both singing and playing instruments such as piano, guitar and bass. Since graduating I have gigged around the country with various bands, performed as a soloist, been Musical Director and am currently performing at the O2 Arena in Mamma Mia! The Party UK. I have a huge passion for music and absolutely love giving people the opportunity through teaching to find that passion for themselves too. I like to make my lessons as fun as possible and will help you work towards your own goals, whether that be taking parts in exams or just playing and singing for the love of it.
